The action begins when a car occupied by the corpse of a sleazy private detective glides down a hill and winds up in front of a police station. (The title of the film stems from the fact that police stations used to have green lights at the entrance.) Currently (2010-02-23) the movie is rated 7.2 at the IMDB! Some of the stars are William Gargan, Carole Landis, John Ireland, Charles Russell, and Don Beddoe.

Althought this film was already on this site, those who didn't want to download 4 gigabytes had to settle for a low-resolution 269-megabyte file. So I transcoded the 4-gigabyte file with a reasonable bitrate while performing a massive amount of video noise-reduction. In addition, the mpeg2 file has nav-packets and is ready to be loaded into DVDAuthorGUI (a free program) to create a DVD to watch on your television.
